To operate this or any power tool safely and efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with it as possible. The time you invest before you begin to use your Model G3183 will be time well spent.

DO NOT operate this machine until you are com-

pletely familiar with the contents of this manual.

12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PROTECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the

operation is dusty.

13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER

before servicing and when changing accessories.

16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make

sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the cord.

17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not operate

the machine until you are certain it is in perfect running condition.

18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do

not leave the tool until it comes to a full stop.

19. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.

20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate

machine if you are fatigued.

21. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS TOOL, DO NOT OPERATE IT! Ask for help first. Confusion

can lead to disaster.

22. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS. Review

all safety procedures often.

These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a woodshop. Consider your conditions when setting up or operating your Hollow Chisel Mortiser.

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the

owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as its particular hazards.

2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in

working order.

3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is

used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the grounding prong.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that

keys and wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered

areas and benches invite accidents.

6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.

Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area well lighted.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.

All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance away from your work area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with

padlocks, master switches, or by removable starter keys.

9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better

and safer when they are allowed to perform at their own speed.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry that can get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear must be worn. Long hair should be tied back or wear a hat.

11. NEVER STAND, OR LEAN ON THE TOOL.

Doing so could cause injury.

Unpacking

The Model G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser is shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If you discover the machine is

damaged after you’ve signed for delivery, please

call Customer Service immediately for advice.

Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.

Otherwise filing a freight claim can be difficult.

Caution: The Model G3183 is a heavy machine, 45 lbs. shipping weight. DO NOT over-exert your-

self while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance. In the event that your Hollow Chisel Mortiser must be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable of supporting the combined weight of people and the machine.

When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.

Piece Inventory

After all the parts have been removed from the carton, you should have:

• Mortising Machine

• Hydraulic Cylinder

• Handle Bar

•

⁄

8'' Chisel Bushing

•

⁄

4'' Chisel Bushing

• Chuck Key

• Spindle Extension

• Wood Table

• Hold Down

• Fence

• 4 & 5mm Allen Wrenches

• Flat Head Screw M6-1.0x20mm(2) In the event that any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer...), we would be glad to replace them, or, for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store.

Clean up

The column and other unpainted parts of the Model G3183 are coated with a waxy oil that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Remove the protective coating with mineral spirits and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorinebased solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.

WARNING!

Follow the safety rules listed below when working with solvents:

1. Read and follow all directions and warnings

on the solvent label.

2. Work only in a well ventilated area.

3. Do not work near any type of open flame

(e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so on).

4. DO NOT smoke while working with flamma-

ble material.

5. Paper towels from the cleaning process are

extremely combustible. Dispose of waste towels so they do not create a fire hazard.

Site Considerations

1. Mounting: We recommend mounting your

Hollow Chisel Mortiser to a bench. This will prevent the machine from tipping over and to allow for maximum leverage when mortising.

2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and

anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your Hollow Chisel Mortiser.

3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be

bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

-6- G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser

Circuit Requirements

The motor supplied with the Model G3183 is a 110V single-voltage motor, prewired for 110V. Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 6 amps @ 110V. We recommend using a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse for 110V operation. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while preventing motor damage from high heat caused by overload. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the Hollow Chisel Mortiser, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor. The Hollow Chisel Mortiser cannot be wired for 220V operation.

This equipment must be grounded. Please

ensure that the Hollow Chisel Mortiser is continuously grounded from the motor to the machine frame and then to a known ground. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed.

Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must

be rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

CAUTION: Be sure that your particular electrical

configuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or licensed electrician.

Tools Required

The Model G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser has been largely pre-assembled at the factory. However, some components must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order in which we have presented them here. We also recommend that you spend some time with the diagrams and parts lists to become familiar with all the parts before you begin.

Tools Required: Common hand tools are all that

are necessary to assemble this machine. Specifically, you will need a screwdriver, 4mm and 5mm hex wrenches (provided) and a Phillips screwdriver.
